❗IMPORTANT: Consult with your healthcare provider, to understand if Nerivio is right for you.
Can Nerivio be used with active implantable devices such as a pacemaker or defibrillator?
Nerivio should not be used by anyone with active implantable medical devices. Such use could cause electric shock, electrical interference or serious injuries or medical conditions.
Can Nerivio be used with a glucose monitor?
Nerivio should not be used by anyone with an active implantable medical device.
Glucose monitors can vary by make and model. Continuous glucose monitors may use radio frequency and wireless communications. For continuous glucose monitors, we recommend you contact your healthcare provider to determine if there are any contraindications of use with Nerivio.
Do not use devices which generate strong electrical or electromagnetic fields (this includes BlueTooth devices), near the Nerivio device. This may result in incorrect operation of the device and create a potentially unsafe situation. In order to reduce the risk of EM interference, it is recommended to keep a minimum distance of 12 inches (30 cm) between the device and other electromagnetically radiating devices (this includes BlueTooth devices). Verify correct operation of the device in case the distance is shorter. During the immunity tests the device operated normally.
Using Nerivio in people with severe cardiovascular disease
Nerivio has not been evaluated in patients with congestive heart failure or severe cardiac disease. It should not be used in patients with an active implantable device such as a pacemaker.
